An essential part of the full Hampton Manor experience. Join us in the Cookery School on selected dates throughout the year for a hands-on, seasonal workshop.

CINNAMON BUNS

Learn how to make and bake our ever-popular cinnamon buns. Join us for a two-hour insight into the secrets behind our best-selling recipe from our in-house bakery. Expect to get very hands-on, creating both dough and cinnamon butter from scratch, before shaping.

You’ll take home a tray of buns, as well as a detailed recipe card to ensure you can continue to impress with your new-found expertise at home.

It’s £60pp inclusive of refreshments. Scroll down for more info and to book.

BUILDING A LARDER

Waste no more. Join us for a relaxed, two-hour introduction to pickling, preserving and building a larder at home—quick hacks which are applicable to so many ingredients you’ll find in your fridge.

You’ll learn how to pickle and ferment, using techniques to create sauerkraut, quick pickled veg or whatever the season dictates.
You’ll gain an awareness of starter cultures and naturally fermented bread, as well as an appreciation of what the seasons can offer, including what flavour and nutrition we can harness at different times of the year. This may include a tasting, or, when the weather allows, a forage. You’ll take home the preserves created in class, as well as the ability to create many more.

It’s £80pp inclusive of refreshments. Scroll down for more info and to book.

BREAD & BUTTER MAKING

Learn how to make two of the best things in the world — bread and butter. Join us for a three-hour workshop, starting with a simple sourdough process. In between the sourdough steps, you’ll make your very own sourdough starter to take home for future bakes. We’ll also make, flavour and wrap butter, before the final sourdough shaping.

You’ll take home sourdough, your very own starter for future bakes, rolled and wrapped butter, a detailed recipe card and access to a digital guide to remind you of the techniques you learn on the day.

It’s £90pp inclusive of refreshments.  Scroll down for more info & to book.
